Looking For an Online Bible Study Group

[OnePeter315]

Hi all,

I've looked through the forums for Bible study groups and it seems that there aren't any active ones. Can anyone suggest finding one here or online somewhere? I'm in the PST time zone if that makes a difference

Hi there OnePeter315

I have been doing the same thing and cannot find one here or any good ones online. If you like, we could be study partners, maybe invite some more people. Let me know.

I'm willing to start a group, but not to lead it. I'm looking for someone to guide ME and am in no position to guide others. I'd love to after I have a year or so of study under my belt though

I don't think anyone would have to lead it. We could just decide on what we want to read in the Bible. I could start a conversation for the group and then we could post our thoughts. What do you think?

One great place to start is with TheBerean.org: Psalm 34:11-14 They have a daily email verse and devotional. It really digs in and has great insight into the verses.

Thanks, I'll have to check that out. I am currently using a Men's Daily Devotional NIV Bible to do my morning readings and it's been pretty good.

As for the group, I guess a better way of putting it would be that I would like for someone who has a lot more experience with bible study than me to kind of mentor? facilitate? Not sure the right word to use. There are TONS of Bible study plans you can do on your own online, so the WHAT is pretty easy. It's the group setting I desire to talk about and discuss. And, in order to make sure we are doing it right, we would need someone to guide us.

How much experience do you have with Bible study?

Kinda hard to do a group online. I prefer in person, love the interaction and not having to TYPE everything I want to say. How ever it works out though, men getting together and studying the bible is great for our walks...

I have experience in leading women's Bible study and have attended several Bible studies, but I put up a message asking for a leader on one of the other forums to see if anyone else would offer.

Men getting together, I guess that would leave me out LOL In person would be great but not feasible with people spread out all over geographically on CF, so it would have to be an online study.

OnePeter -Here is what one poster suggested for us. He recommended we follow Christ'sFreeServant Bible study posts. The information is below. Let me know what you think.

______________________
Let me recommend something to you. I know of someone who regularly posts Bible Studies here at this site by the name of Christ'sFreeServant. Slightly more traditional than me, but very good, and quite non-judgmental of those with differences of opinion. She appears specifically called to writing Studies, as this is what she does on a regular basis, though she doesn't always get responses.

Whenever you want to see of she has posted anything new you might have missed, just come to this thread you created, click on the link I am providing below, and that will bring you to a thread with here avatar on it. Click on her site name in her avatar box, and you will see a blue option to click for "View Profile." Click that, and you will see a screen with options to "View Activity." That will list her most recent posts, including those she has written herself.

Hope this does you some good, and your interest in Bible Study is an excellent and worthwhile pursuit!

This House Lies Desolate

Thank you so much HiddeninHim. I followed your instructions and bookmarked her activity. Not a lot of people respond to posts, let along as quickly as you did. I really appreciate all your help. God bless you!

One good way to study the Bible is to first have a frame-work for it, which is about defining the study areas, purpose, etc. Just picking a place and beginning reading could lead to confusion if that PLACE was not understood in relation to the whole of the Bible ---would you say?

This is trying to say that there is Bible General ---Overview of deity, trinity, creation, purpose and mind of God in general in the books of OT and NT, etc.; Redemption Way ---Seeing the OT way and the NT way, and expectations for mankind, the coming and sacrifice of Jesus, the Christ of God, salvation and judgments, heaven and eternity, etc.; Church Truth ---Formation of the "bride", God's testimony and expectations for His saints, etc.; Spiritual Life ---living for God and devotions, worship, testimony, service, etc. Summation as in Revelation, etc.

I believe that defining the study thus could help in preparations and discussions; and avoid ramblings and confusion, and even debates, which should not be allowed. Just some thoughts here to consider.

Great suggestions everyone.

This isn't "quite" what you are looking for, but be mindful that under Theology and Scriptures, there is this section on CF: Exposition & Bible Study -- you may get some ideas from there or plan to do the actual studies there too for others to join in on.

Hi everyone, I have been thinking of facilitating an online Bible study group after I retire as a pastor in July 2018. Being in Bible study groups was what led me into the ministry. I have led Bible study groups many times, but never online. Eleven of them were studies that gave an over-view of the whole Bible. In addition, we did small group studies of the gospels also. Any interest in forming an online group?

Hi, glad to hear that. Can you share some thoughts on what you would expect from a Bible study you would enjoy?
